Review on ๐Ÿ”ˆ Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax Black.swap Premium Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black) - Quiet and Slim by Jeff Gopala

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not just a black version of the NF-A12x15, it's physically different.

Warning. The fan cable for the Chromax version is a wrench that is only 1 inch long. The included 4-pin PWM extension cable runs the entire fan power cable. The "replaceable" colored rubber pads are glued on once and therefore cannot be exchanged like with other chromax fans. Does not include the 4-pin PWM Y-splitter, low-noise adapter (LNA), anti-vibration rubber mounts, or actual PWM extension cable that comes with the brown version and costs more than the brown Version. The Chromax version is NOT just a black version of the tan fan, it is physically different and does not include the same accessories. You're probably better off saving money and getting the standard brown version. The fan itself is a typical high-end Noctua, but standard Noctua accessories should be included for the price. I took off two stars for that and for switching to a tiny 1-inch PWM power cable.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Clarity
